About Food Intolerance testing

Our clinic  provides the UK’s most comprehensive Food Intolerance Tests and Food Intolerance Testing.

We provide Professional Blood testing for Food Intolerances.

The food intolerance test is a professional blood test. Your blood sample will be  taken by our phlebotomist  at our central London clinic. Blood testing is the most accurate way to conduct food intolerance tests. Tests that use hair may be contaminated by chlorine or hair dyes.

Finger prick tests are also based on blood, however we always recommend if at all possible to have your blood sample taken professioanlly as  this is the most reliable method to test for food intolerances.

What is the benefit of a food intolerance test and food intolerance testing?

A food intolerance test may help with many symptoms.

Food intolerances can be very difficult to unravel and are not always obvious. Symptoms related to IBS, bloating, tiredness, headaches and skin conditions may  be triggered by a food intolerance or food  sensitivity.

We have helped thousands of people to identify their food sensitivities and optimize their health.

Some of our clients have found that food sensitivities helped them with symptoms such as bloating, inability to lose weight, skin problems, food cravings, diarrhea, constipation, joint pain, asthma, IBS, insomnia and acne. Other clients have told us that the symptoms/conditions below have also improved after identifying a food intolerance.

What is a Food Intolerance?

A Food Intolerance is a reaction to foods that can cause a variety of symptoms.  Some of our cliemts have reported an improvement in symptoms ranging from bloating and fatigue to skin rashes and weight issues.   A Food Intolerance is not life-threatening. It can take up to 3 days for symptoms to develop making it hard to identify the culprit food.

Please note Food Allergies are not the same as Food Intolerances and can be life-threatening causing difficulty breathing, vomiting, and swelling of the lips. If you experience this kind of reaction you should seek medical advice.

What happens if I have a Food Intolerance?

If you do have a food intolerance, it is recommend that you cut out the offending foods.

It is important that you find suitable replacements and still eat in a balanced way. We will always find suitable alternatives so that you are eating a broad and varied diet. We have witnessed dramatic improvements in symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea and water retention once the offending foods have been eliminated. We work with clients who have IBS, bloating, diarrhea, eczema,  psoriasis, weight issues, candida and a variety of skin conditions.
